Burke Post 21 baseball defeats Caldwell in Area IV Playoffs, swept by Shelby

The Burke County Post 21 baseball team made a late postseason run to continue their season for another week after a five-game dual of a series with Caldwell Post 29.

Post 21 advanced to the American Legion Area IV Playoffs to face top-seeded Shelby Post 82, but despite subpar efforts, it was swept in three games.

The following are recaps from games that reporter Jason Baker was in attendance.

Burke Post 21 5, Caldwell Post 29 4 (Game 2 @ Shuey Field)

Post 21 snatched up a 3-1 lead over Post 29 through three innings, with Cole Attaway hitting an RBI triple to score Mason Mosteller and scoring a run off a sacrifice hit by Brady Davis.

Caldwell scored a run in the fifth inning, followed by Hollan Cline scoring a run in the bottom half of the inning, helping Burke maintain a 4-2 lead.

Caldwell came back to score two runs in the top half of the seventh inning, but Attaway could connect again for Mosteller to score the winning walk-off run to tie the series 1-1.

Burke Post 21 7, Caldwell Post 29 4 (Game 4 @ Shuey Field)

A 2-RBI triple by Austin Reynolds and an unearned run off a wild pitch in the fourth inning made the difference for Post 21 after trailing by a run with first-inning runs scored by Eli Elliott and Cole Attaway.

Maddox Mosteller and Landry Duvall scored off Reynolds’ base hit and led off with their own base hits.

Two more runs were scored for Burke in the fifth inning by Attaway and Hollan Cline, while Caldwell was just limited to one run in the sixth inning.

Burke Post 21 8, Caldwell Post 29 5 (Game 5 @ M.S. Deal Stadium)

The best performance of the postseason run came in the fifth inning of this win-it-all game scoring six runs all in the same inning.

Burke was able to start at the top of the lineup, with Eli Elliott leading off with a single and advancing to third base off a Mason Mosteller double.

Elliott scored on a wild pitch, and Mosteller scored off a Hollan Cline triple.

Cline scored off a Maddox Mosteller single, while he and Zach Carson scored off a Zeb Koone triple.

An attempted run by Landry Duvall was caught by a tag at home plate, and Koone scored the last run in the inning off a wild pitch.

Elliott (1st inning) and Cline (3rd inning) scored the other two Post 21 runs in the game.

Maddox Mosteller was also the winning pitcher for Post 21, coming on the mound in relief of Cohen Christian.

Shelby Post 82 7, Burke Post 21 0 (Game 2 @ Shuey Field)

On the 4th of July, Post 21 hosted Post 82 after a run-rule loss in game one.

Maddox Mosteller was able to get on base twice with two singles.

Cole Attaway and Hollan Cline were each issued a walk, with Landry Duvall reaching first base on an error.

Duvall started on the mound for six innings, striking out just two Shelby batters, before being relieved by Austin Reynolds.

Shelby Post 82 7, Burke Post 21 1 (Game 3 @ Keeter Stadium)

The season ended in Shelby, where the American Legion World Series will be held in August.

Eli Elliott (single), Mason Mosteller (walk), Cole Attaway (single), Maddox Mosteller (walk), Zach Carson (walk), Landry Duvall (single), Trevor Throneburg (single), and Jace Duckworth (fielders choice) all got on base for Post 21.

Duckworth scored the lone run in the fifth inning off a sacrifice groundout by Mason Mosteller, who started on the mound and struck out four Shelby batters before being relieved in the sixth inning by Austin Reynolds.
